BENEFITS OF DRINKING WATER
1) Water is the only
liquid on Earth that safely reduces weight. It removes the by-products of fat
and keeps you fresh and healthy. Drinking water regularly, suppresses your
appetite to a great extent and limits your food
intake. Another distinct feature of water is that it literally contains
no calories, hence, contributing significantly to weight loss
2) Do you want to look
younger? Problem solved! Just drink lots of water every day! Water is a perfect
replacement for your expensive ageing treatments. It moisturises your skin and
keeps it fresh and glistening thereby enhancing its overall appeal. In
addition, it helps maintain the elasticity and suppleness of the skin and
prevents dryness by detoxifying the skin. Hence, one should strictly avoid
dehydrating foods and beverages such as caffeine (cola, chocolate, coffee, tea)
and alcohol
3) Drinking enough water
can also combat skin disorders such as eczema, psoriasis, dry skin, wrinkles
and spots
4) Water is an essential
component required for the effective working of our body since body parts
including our brain and the various tissues are mostly composed of water.
Considering this, water can significantly improve our ability to think and make
us energetic too.
5) Water removes toxins
and most of the waste products from our body contributing to a healthy quality
of life. If our body lacks water then our heart has to make an extra effort to
pump fresh oxygenated blood to our organs causing severe health issues
6) A study conducted in
the Loma Linda university in California, involving 20 men and woman in the age
range of 38 to 100 years, concluded that those who drank enough water
throughout the day were less likely to have a heart attack (41% in women and
54% in men). Hence, it can be suggested that if you substitute water with milk,
tea, coffee or other beverages then you will have increased chances of
incurring a heart attack, with a precise rate of 50% in women and 46% in men.
7) Water helps to relieve headaches and back
pain. Although there are many reasons that contribute to headaches, dehydration
is one of the most common ones
8) Regular intake of water
increases your metabolic rate and improves your digestive system. If you are
constipated, try drinking more water - it can work wonders!
9) Drinking plenty of
water helps fight against the flu and other ailments like kidney stones. Water,
along with lemon or lemon juice is often used to overcome respiratory diseases,
intestinal problems, rheumatism and arthritis. On the whole, water plays a
fundamental role in strengthening your immune system
10) Research suggests that
drinking substantial amounts of water is likely to reduce the risks of bladder
and colon cancer. This is because water has the ability to dilute the
concentration of cancer-causing agents in the urine and reduce the time they
take to come in contact with the bladder lining
11) The human body needs a
neutral Ph 7 range in order to function properly. Drinking enough water
throughout the day helps maintain this balance.
